In 2016, we re-racked one-year-old malt spirit of robust character into first fill Oloroso-seasoned butts. By 2019, one particular cask – #2 – proved so compelling that we began to experiment. After introducing it to a much older malt whisky from the now lost Imperial Distillery, we witnessed a moment of magic.
ONE CASK CASTS A SPELL
When we began a maturation trial in 2016, we hadn’t expected the whiskies to develop such deliciousness in so short a period of time. One-year-old malt spirit, made at a Speyside distillery famous for the robust character of its whiskies, was re-racked into first fill Oloroso-seasoned butts. Sampling them three years later, one particular cask - #2 – proved so compelling that we began to experiment.
A parcel of first fill Bourbon barrels containing whisky from the now closed Imperial Distillery, delicious in its own right, required the ideal match. This much younger malt whisky from the Oloroso-seasoned cask proved the ideal means to deepen the fruity and creamy profile of this rare parcel.
FLAVOUR PROFILE
Aromas of marmalade and chai tea spices, with hints of plum. Ripe, golden dessert apples dominate the luscious palate, supported by an oaky richness. Flavours of toffee and cocoa powder are also conjured up.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Savour this whisky neat, as a digestif, to appreciate its power and depth.
